Software automation not working

[jben 0]

Hi everyone,

I've almost finished with my automated software now but have not been able to automate windows media encoder 8.

For some reason it gets stuck at the screen that says "Where do you want to install Windows Media Encoder Utility?").

I'm really not sure why but when I use winwaitactive it just doesn't recognize the form.

Anyone have any ideaS?

thanks

As a guess i'm presuming this is because the text is automatically highlighted in the input box, therefore it can't work out what i'm looking for maybe?. Not sure though.

Ideally I just want to be able to click the OK button

Here is a screenshot of the problem, this is where I get stuck

i think before showing this window[Window2], there must be a previous one[Window1] ... when the [Window2] appears, [Window1] will be lost the focus, use WinActive() to check if this happen, if it happen then sleep for 5sec (for Window2 appears) and press OK

sory for bad explanation

Give this a try

WinWait('Windows Media 8 Encoding', 'Where do you want')
ControlClick('Windows Media 8 Encoding', 'Where do you want', 'OK')
